The Gnevyshev–Ohl rule (GO rule) is an empirical rule according to which the sum of Wolf's sunspot numbers in odd cycles with preceding even cycles (E+O) are highly correlated and the correlation is lower if even cycles and preceding odd ones (O+E) are taken (see Figure 1).[1] Sometimes a simplified formulation of the rule is used, according to which the sums over odd cycles exceeds those of the preceding even cycles[2] (see Figure 2). The rule breaks down under certain conditions.[3] In particular, it inverts sign across the Dalton minimum, but can be restored with the "lost cycle" in the end of the 18th century.[4][5] The nature of the GO rule is still unclear.[2]
